The prospect of staying at home for any prolonged period of time can seem overwhelming and a little scary, especially if you’re someone who enjoys keeping fit and active and hitting that daily step count. If you live alone, you may also be worried and stressed about feeling isolated. The trouble is with Covid-19, the timeline for managing this pandemic is not clear, which adds to the stress. Rather than letting the isolation intimidate you, let’s try and embrace it, maybe use it as an opportunity to do different things. This could be a home exercise programme or maybe just incorporating more simplistic healthy habits into your daily routine and mixing things up a little. Staying active in any form will be better for your mental and physical well being – so working in the garden or tidying out that wardrobe or garage (ie. the things you never have the time to do) all count towards staying active at home. They will also add to a sense of satisfaction that could spur on a positive mood.
